For many, strong 21 of anger, shame, sadness, or disappointment can 22 psychological difficulties such as anxiety, depression or low self-esteem. These problems can be far more than the 23 challenges themselves.Several heading experts in the field of LD have offered suggestions on ways to help 24 children from these problems.To be most effective in supporting 25 , it can help to understand some primary 26 for the psychological and emotional challenges they may face.First, it is not difficult to see 27 children with LD are at greater risk for developing psychological difficulties if one considers the repeated failure they 28 . Although they make efforts to “try harder,”children with LD may receive little 29 feedback(反馈). Their academic struggles and failures are often met with 30 by teachers, peers and parents. Such disapproval can take the form of unpleasant labeling(标签)of a child 31“slow,” “lazy” or “dumb.” 32 developing a sense of pride in their accomplishments, children with LD may 33 in disappointment and shame. Low self-esteem and a lack of confidence only 34 prevent learning and academic success.The second reason is the 35 difficulties they often experience. Research indicates that as many as 75% of kids with LD have such 36 as making and keeping friends. Children with LD are less 37 and often rejected by their peers. Teachers and other adults also may 38 to have negative views of them. Such social rejection(排斥)can result in 39 of self-esteem and feelings of loneliness, which, 40 may lead to psychological difficulties such as anxiety and depression.42.A. opinions B. feelings C. ideas D. attitudes43.

Dozens of other families were by what the Hatches had done. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in ,it was more than $100,000.It nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of .

It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles 36 he learns an important lesson: there is no “I” in “team”.There is 37 better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all 38 on three different teams. Yet, none of them had any titles to show for it. 39 last season, they 40 to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and 41 the NBA in the process.It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA 42 . If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same.

His 45 showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that 46 .When the Celtics 47 and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. 48 , they stood and cheered and 49 for their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and 50 .Now, the guys who don’t play know they can still 51 the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnet, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong 52 . They are more than just teammates. They are 53 .The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to 54 the Eastern Conference championship again this year.There is a saying that 55 , “A successful team beats with one heart.” If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.36.

Seldom A year ago, August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but it was for Dave to find work, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at the risk of joining the millions of Americans who have their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely —$7,000, a legacy(遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were meeting difficulty.” says Dave.But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were by what the Hatches had done. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in , it was more than $100,000. It nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of . They preferred comparison shopping and would go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camps when their parents couldn’t it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you anything,” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches their farmland.

In those days men were expected to be 37 and rugged and never shed a tear no matter what. Our 38 were all stone faced cowboys who were too 39 to cry. Believing this then I tried my best 40 to cry at all during my teenage and early adult years.All that changed, 41 , as I was driving home alone one night shortly after my Mom 42 .

I couldn't seem to find the right words."It's vastness," she offered. “That vastness 52 you stand on the mountains overlooking the desert -- you can 53 how little you are in comparison with the world. 54 , you feel that the possibilities are limitless.”That was it.

Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.”Then the teacher 53 , “ I want my students to know that feeling love is an importan t part of 54 . I’m trying to tell them it’s too bad that we don’t express our feelings. A boy 55 tell his father or mother he loves him.” The teacher understands that sometimes it is 56 for some of us to say something that is good for us to say.That evening when my son 57 to me, I took him in my arms and held on for an 58 moment, saying, “Hey, I love you, 59 .” Idon’t know if saying that made 60 of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good.3.A. hate B. love C. like D. enjoy4.A. realize B. recognize C. know D. find 5.A .away B. for C. down D. on 6.

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校完形填空6In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the “unpardonable.” I gave the class homework!The assignment (任务) was to “go to someone you love 36 the next week and tell them you love them. It 37 to be someone you have never 38 those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.” That doesn’t 39 like a very tough assignment, 40 you stop to realize that most of the men were over 35 and were 41 in the generation of men that were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho (男子汉气概的).” Showing feelings or crying (heaven forbid!) was just not done 42 this was a very threatening assignment for some.At the 43 of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to 44 what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the 45 to volunteer, as was usually the 46 , but on thisevening one of the men raised his hand. He appeared quite moved and a bit 47 . As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis. I was quite 48 with you last week when you gave us the assignment. I didn’t feel that I had 49 to say those words to and 50 , who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience (良知) started talking to me. It was telling me that I 51 exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated 52 and really never resolved it since that one. We 53 seeing each other unless we absolutely had toat Christmas or other family gatherings. But 54 then, we hardlyspoke to each other. So last. Tuesday 55 I got home, I had convincedmyself. I was going to tell my father I loved him.” 36.A .after B .before C .for D .within 37.A .has to B .ought to C .had better D .can 38.A .told B .said C .talked D .spoken 39.A .look B .hear C .listen D .sound 40.A .when B .until C .that D .unless 41.A .born B .grown C .raised D .risen 42.A .And B .But C .So D .For43.A .beginning B .end C .middle D .stating 44.A .announce B .share C .answer D .ask 45.A .men B .adults C .students D .women46.A .case B .thing C .story D .experience 47.A .afraid B .shaken C .terrible D .worried 48.A .happy B .pleased C .angry D .satisfied 49.A .everybody B .nobody C .someone D .anyone 50.A .else B .except C .beside D .besides 51.A .thought B .considered C .knew D .guessed52.A .disagreement B .encouragement C .disappointment D .discouragement53.A.imagined B.risked C.avoided D.escaped54.A.still B.even C.just D.only55.A.by the time B.at the time C.for the time D.during the time 2.There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people 36 to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you 37 is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you 38 others. Because while there will be times 39 outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely 40 . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are 41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision 42 anyway.You were 43 with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and 44 the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had goneagainst your own 45 .Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of 46 a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the 47 necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to 48 on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being 49 to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior 50 knew more than I did, and so I 51 too much significance to their opinions. You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in 52 . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by 53 and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to 54 this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to 55 and to life.36. A. easy B. ready C. unwilling D. hard37. A. lead B. lend C. take D. earn38. A. look at B. pick up C. turn to D. learn from39. A. that B. since C. when D. while40. A. useless B. useful C. priceless D.clever41. A. getting B. making C. suffering D. facing42. A. on one hand B. on your own C. on the whole D. onall sides43. A. born B. tired C. satisfied D. covered44. A. enjoy B. step C. plan D. take45.

A. payment B. dreams C. happiness D. businessI spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America.It is said, “The best house is in America, the best wife is in Japan, and the best food is in China.” So I took pride (自豪)and __21__ to __22__ “the best food” for my American family. Each day, reg ardless of my poor skill of cooking, I would do something in __23__ way: changing the dishes’ colour, the meat’s type or the soup’s style. (风味)Thus, my American friends could discover the __24__ of eating Chinese food. Because of my “__25__” job, I was oft en rewarded (奖励) by their __26__ of appreciation (感激)such as “very delicious”, “excellent”, etc.But the joke was here: Yesterday, I cooked Sichuan style __27__ for dinner.I was __28__ at my achievement.(成就)When all the family members arrived at the table, they first looked __29__ at the fish, then looked at me. “Why do all the fish have their __30__?” they asked, “It’s terrible!”Terrible or beautiful? I don’t know. But I __31_ know that fish heads are delicious. The __32__ is the best part of fish; in __33__ only the respectable (受敬重的)guest can have the special honour of __34__ it. Another __35__ thing is: The American friends often said to me “__36__” as they __37__ fruits or other things. According to Chinese tradition I would simply smile in answer to their kindness __38__ actually helping myself to any of the food. __39__, I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits. Dear me, no matter how much or how often I brought home food, as long as it was nice to their taste, they __40__ hesitated (犹豫)to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished3.A. worry B. attention C. delight D. pleasure 4.A. buy B. fetch C. cook D. leave5.A. their B. a new C. the same D. a simple 6.A. way B. joy C. trouble D. importance7.A. hard B. daily C. good D. new8.A. expressions B. flowers C. talk D. smile9.A. meat B. fish C. soup D. egg10.A. praised B. pleased C. good D. surprised 11.A. happily B. excitedly C. surprisedly D. worriedly12.A. bones B. skins C. tails D. heads13.A. do B. will C. want to D. should 14.A. tail B. head C. soup D. flesh15.A. fact B.

I love to enter a clean room, look out the window, or walk out in the morning 28 that each afternoon when I return, someone else will have made the bed.The 29 is that unless Alison travels with me, I never sleep well in hotels. I miss my family. Even though Linus and Camille, aged 4 and almost 2, find a way to interrupt even the 30 night’s sleep at home, still, I’d rather be with them.I’m deeply 31 by the parents who wake up too late with the realization: “My children grew up too 32 . In the busy and noisy career and life, I 33 their childhood.”A hundred years from now, nobody will remember the car you drove or the large house you lived. The world might 34 greatly however, based on your 35 on the life of a small child. Your life will most certainly improve, if you pay attention to your important 36 , and make the choice to put her or him first. What could you do today to let your loved ones know how much they 37 to you? What will you do tomorrow? And the next day?Think of one specific 38 that you can take, and take it.
